February-April 2022: Asynchronous Development in Elementary-aged students (rising K to rising grade 5) We know that talented young learners often develop in asynchronous ways, with some sets of capabilities maturing faster than others. Research staff from UNC Charlotte are offering a free multi-dimensional set of assessments that measure overall development, with a particular focus on language, reading, mathematical, and social-emotional development. Parents are also asked to complete a set of rating scales to help gain a full picture of your child’s social-emotional development. Why participate? Gain a better understanding your child – All the assessment results will be provided to you. Receive tailored guidance Educational resources or next steps for your child recommended by UNC Charlotte education experts Social-emotional advice and support resources provided by a psychologist who specializes in working with gifted and 2E children (student identities are not disclosed to the psychologist) Receive more personalized education For Telra students, the results can help staff to better understand and accommodate your child’s learning needs For non-Telra students, you can choose whether or not to share the results with your child’s school Certify your child for school gifted and talented programs Most schools do not provide free testing for gifted qualification until late 2nd or 3rd grade Securing this suite of assessments on your own could cost hundreds of dollars Note: TULIP offers a very common set of assessments, but we make no guarantee that these are accepted your school. Please check your own school/district policies regarding gifted/AIG/TD identification. Surface indications of any learning differences, such as ADHD or ASD, that could benefit from early identification and management. Help advance UNC Charlotte’s research on asynchronous development in children, with a particular focus on gifted and 2E learners. Assessments details Depending on your child’s age, they would participate in most or all of the following assessments: Screening Assessment for Gifted Elementary and Middle School Students (SAGES-3 ) Test of Phonological Awareness (TOPA-2+) Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT-5) Expressive Vocabulary Test (EVT-3) Raven’s Progressive Matrices (RPM/RCPM) The overall assessment time is 2-2.5 hours, plus 30-60 mins across multiple play breaks.

The parking lot is open only for staff and Before School care between 7:00-7:45am You can sign up for BSC here . Telra parking lot at McKee Rd. The map below shows how traffic flows during arrival and dismissal times. Car line time restrictions – Cars will not be allowed to enter the property for car line before 7:45 am in the morning or before 3:05 pm in the afternoon. The car line blocks access to our building which we need to keep open for staff, before care, and early dismissals. If you arrive early, you will be turned away. Please do not try to circumvent this by queuing up on the road or in the church parking lot. Car Li ne One way flow. Please note that the main entrance to the school is on the west end of campus from the road that runs between the Baptist church and St. Francis church. We have two driveways directly on McKee Rd – one for buses only and one is exit only. Do not try to enter these driveways. Three-lane drop zone with driver side entry/exit. Our car line queue expands to 3 lanes , and we’ll use all 3 for drop off and pick up. The near lane loads/unloads first, then after it empties, the 2nd lane goes, and after that, the far lane. Access is from the LEFT side of the car. Please make sure your children are ready to load/unload from the driver’s side . If you must access from the passenger side, be sure to take lane 3 (furthest to the right) Parents should stay in the car. PLEASE REMEMBER! If you are in the middle or far lane, please keep your children in the car until a staff member approaches to open your door. If you need to help your child settle into a car seat, wait until you can pull forward around the curve and then off to the side. Morning tardies Telra's academic day starts at 8:15am sharp, and students need to be in their classroom at 8:15am to avoid being marked tardy. Car-rider families - we know the morning routine at home can be tough, but be sure to arrive well-in time to make sure your child starts the Telra day on the right foot. We want to teach students that punctuality matters. The morning car line opens at 7:55 am. Aim for the Green zone ! Cars arriving 7:55 - 8:05 am - Green zone - Your child will have plenty of time to visit their locker/cubby and get to class. Maybe even chat with their friends and relax a bit before school begins. Cars arriving 8:05 - 8:10 am - Yellow zone - Your child will likely be on time, but you haven't left much cushion in case there is traffic on the road or in our drop off area. Cars arriving 8:10 - 8:15 am - Red zone - There is a good chance your child will be tardy. Best case scenario, they'll be rushing to get to class. Cars arriving after 8:15 am - Tardy - You will need to park and sign your child in. Tardy Walkers Walkers will use th e main front door Late Arrival If you arrive after 8:15am , please park in the pavilion parking lot of the school and walk your child to the front door to sign them in.

Departure Changing dismissal method Dismissal changes happen, plans alter and we understand that! Dismissal changes can only be submitted via our Microsoft Dismissal & Absences tool. You will need to log in with your child's Telra Microsoft Credentials Dismissal changes must be submitted by 1pm (at latest) on the day of dismissal. (24-hours notice is preferred.) Changes to regular dismissal method will not be made after 1pm. Early Dismissal Parents can sign their children out of school early prior to 3 :00pm. From 3:00pm onwards students will not be dismissed early. Change in dismissal method also must be communicated prior to 1pm. See above. If you need to collect your student from school early, please complete your request using the Microsoft Dismissal and Absences tool . Pick up is from the front door of the school and you must bring photo identification to sign your child out. Early dismissal finishes at 3:00pm, no exceptions. We understand that occasionally appointments need to be scheduled during school hours, however, please don’t make it a regular occurrence as this cuts into the instructional time that your child receives. Dismissal Students will be dismissed at 3:30pm, but it takes time to leave the building. The car line doesn't start moving until around 3:35. Car riders, please follow the same traffic flow of arrival. Please do not line up for afternoon pickup before 3:05 pm. If you arrive early, you will be blocked from driving on campus and that risks creating a back-up on McKee Rd. (This is one area in life where it's not good to be too early! Many parents plan to arrive around 3:45, and can get through car line in 10-20 mins) C ar tags - All cars must have their car tags hanging on the rear view mirror (or a clearly visible piece of paper on the dashboard with your family's assigned car line number, family name, and children's names.)

Welcome and thank you for your interest in becoming a part of the Telra Institute family. Telra is a nonprofit tuition-free public charter school authorized by the State of North Carolina. We adhere to an open admissions and enrollment policy. Here's how the process works: 1. Submit an online application (it takes just 5 minutes on your smartphone or computer) 2. Receive acceptance/ waitlist notification Applications received after the lottery are added to the wait list in the order they are received after applying any applicable admission preferences. Learn More or Apply Now 3. Complete enrollment by submitting documents FAQ's Who can apply? Should I apply? When do I apply? How are students selected? How does the lottery work? How do I apply? What's next if my child is admitted? What about future years? What are the documentation requirements? Does Telra use admissions screening? Why did my child move backward on the waitlist? Where is the school? What about transportation, meals, uniforms, etc? FAQs Who can apply Who can apply? We invite applications from all children who meet AGE and RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS : AGE - A child who reaches the age of five years on or before August 31 qualifies to enter Kindergarten. Limited exceptions apply. NORTH CAROLINA RESIDENCY - Attendance is open to applicants from any county or school district area as long as the child's primary residence is in the state of North Carolina. DOCUMENTATION - Documentation is not required at the time of application, but if your child is admitted, proof of eligibility must be provided to complete enrollment. Should I apply Should I apply? We want every child to find the best school environment that helps them realize their potential. We invite you to review Choosing A School to learn what makes Telra special. When do I apply When do I apply? We want every child to have an equal opportunity to attend our school. All applications received during Open Enrollment will be given equal consideration. The order in which Open Enrollment applications are submitted has no bearing on chances for selection. You can also apply after the Open Enrollment period. However, late applications will be only be considered after the Open Enrollment applications are processed (see below). How are stuents selected How are students selected? When the Open Enrollment period ends, we compare the number of applications we received to the number of available seats in each grade and section. If more seats are available than applicants, we accept all eligible children who applied during Open Enrollment. If we have fewer seats available than applicants, a computerized lottery will take place to determine which students get a seat and which students are placed on the waiting list. The lottery will be run on Pi Day, March 14. Admissions preferences can provide an advantage in the lottery. We urge parents to review them and learn if any apply to your child. The application form will give you the opportunity to claim any relevant admission preferences. Children who apply after Open Enrollment closes are processed in the order their applications are received and placed on the appropriate list - admitted or waitlist. If your child is on the waitlist, don’t be discouraged! Seats will open up throughout the spring and summer. We will send you updates as the waitlist moves and continue to send you school information. Note that admissions preferences also apply to applicants on the waitlist. If you discover, after you have been waitlisted, that one of the admissions preferences apply to your child, you can update your application and improve your chances of selection. Who runs the lottery How does the lottery work? At the end of Open Enrollment, we determine - for each grade and section - whether a lottery is needed. Applicants are then assigned a random number and their applications are then sequenced from lowest (at the top of the list) to highest number (at the bottom of the list). Offers are extended in this sequence until capacity is reached. We do not know ahead of time what the capacity will be in each grade, nor can we predict likelihood of admission. That is a somewhat dynamic question as space and staff are allocated depending on multiple factors, including overall demand and relative demand at each grade. Admissions preferences are an exception to the random lot assignment. Many families may qualify for one or more admission preferences, so it is important to review them closely and see if any may apply to your child in order to maximize your chances of admission. How do I apply How do I apply? A responsible parent or guardian must create an Alma Start account. Once the account is created, you can add your child(ren) to your profile using the gray "+" symbol on the left. Select a child, then click the Get Started "+" on the right. Select the school year (2025-26), and the child's current Grade Level (in 24-25). Pre-K students: If your child in in currently in pre-school or not yet in school, please select "K" whenever you are asked for the child's current grade leve l Click on the Admission 25-26 process box that appears below. (Or, if you are applying on the current-year waitlist, click on the "Admission 24-25 Waitlist" process.) Then click "begin" to launch the process. New applicants will start in the Admissions intake stage . Click there to complete the required forms. Once you have completed all the forms, click the green submit button to move your application to the Wait List stage. Make sure to complete this step by the end of open enrollment if you want to participate in the Lottery. You will know that your application is complete because it will show as being in the Wait List stage . (You will not received an email confirmation. Please don't email the front desk for more information. Read below to see how you'll be kept updated.) That's all you have to do for now. Lottery participants receive their lottery sequence (wait list) number after the lottery and the school will reach out if you are invited for admission. Later wait list additions will receive an email at the end of the month they register with the unique ID they can use to look up their waitlist position. While you are waiting, keep an eye on opportunities to learn more about the school, take a tour, and participate in optional placement testing. Need help on navigating Alma Start?

Please review the requirements here and contact Telra if you think this may apply to you. Immunization North Carolina law requires all children in the state to receive certain immunizations as listed here . McKinney-Vento Telra Institute complies with the McKinney-Vento Education of Homeless Children and Youth Assistance Act. Children experiencing homelessness may enroll, even if lacking normally required documents. Please contact Telra if you think this may apply to you or reach out to Lisa Notini at Lisa.Notini@anscharter.com 828.287.7897. Additional resources are available here: https://hepnc.uncg.edu/ no admissions screening Does Telra have admissions screening? We know many other schools (charters, privates, and district magnets) screen applicants based on standardized tests, portfolio reviews, auditions, etc. These processes often include cognitive aptitude tests to identify "giftedness", but those can be unreliable for preschool-aged children. Since many of our applicants are only 4 years old, such an exam would be of limited use for us. Moreover, the advanced learning curriculum we offer works fabulously well for many gifted students, but not all of them. At the same time there are other students who have the passion and drive to thrive at Telra (and in life!), but may not carry the "gifted" label. Instead of focusing on admissions screening and binary labels, we offer optional placement assessments that students can take if they are requesting a non-default placement in reading or math. These assessments are similar to those our enrolled students take regularly - they correlate directly with our grouping model and they inform which grade or math/reading instructional group a student is eligible for. We recommend participating in the placement assessments if you believe your child needs to be placed at a math or reading level different from their default grade level. Placement results do not affect an applicant's lottery or waitlist position. However, they can affect a student's instructional grouping and/or grade level placement. As a result, they can indirectly impact assignment because we (sequentially, in lottery order) consider each applicant against available space in each of the classes / grade levels into which that applicant is recommended for placement. Choosing A School Backward Waitlist Why did my child move backward on the waitlist? We know no one wants to see their child move to a higher number on the waitlist, but this can happen when another applicant has an admission preference applied. As much as possible, we try to identify admission preferences prior to the lottery, but sometimes these are not recognized until after the lottery is run, and sometimes families that apply after the lottery may qualify for an admission preference which can advance them on the waitlist. Where is school Where is the school? Telra is located at 4150 McKee Rd, Charlotte, NC 28270. See more on our Location page Transportation Meals Uni What about transportation, meals, uniforms, etc?

Enrollment of Early Entrants to Kindergarten Eligibility criteria A child who has passed the fourth anniversary of the child’s birth on or before April 16 may qualify for early admission to Kindergarten. (A child who reaches the age of five years on or before August 31 qualifies to enter Kindergarten through the regular enrollment process . ) The Principal, along with a committee of professional educators, will consider the following factors in determining the eligibility of a four-year-old child to enter Kindergarten: 1. Aptitude and Achievement tests a. Aptitude: The child should score at the 98th percentile or higher on a standard individual test of intelligence such as the Stanford-Binet, the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, the Kaufman Anderson, or any other comparable test administered by a licensed psychologist. If using a test other than those named here, a parent or guardian should ask the Principal to ensure that it qualifies. b. Achievement: The child should score at the 98th percentile or higher on either reading or mathematics on a standard test of achievement such as the Metropolitan Readiness Test, the Stanford Early School Achievement Test, the Mini Battery of Achievement, the Woodcock-Johnson, the Test of Early Mathematics Ability, the Test of Early Reading Ability, or any other comparable test administered by a licensed psychologist, a member of the psychologist’s professional staff, or a professional educator who is trained in the use of the instrument and who has no conflict of interest in the outcome of the assessment. 2. Work sample The parent or guardian shall submit a sample of the child’s work that shows outstanding examples of ability (well above age peers) in any area including, but not limited to, art, mathematics, writing, dramatic play, creative productions, science, or social interactions. 3. Recommendation letters The parent or guardian shall provide two recommendation letters with specific documentation of physical and social maturity from preschool teachers, childcare workers, pediatricians, or others who have direct knowledge of the child. Useful documentation checklists include the California Preschool Competency Scale, the Harrison Scale, or any other comparable scale of early social development. The documents should show that the child demonstrates social and developmental maturity sufficient to participate in a structured setting for a full school day. 4. Interviews The Principal shall conduct an informal interview with the child and a more structured interview with the parent or guardian to assess the child’s reading skills and to determine if the child displays a thirst for knowledge and seeks new and challenging learning situations. Enrollment timeline and provisional lottery entry A four-year-old child may participate in Telra admissions lottery and enrollment process on a provisional basis provided the parent or guardian follows the timeline described below: 1. The parent or guardian must contact the school and indicate the intent to apply for early admission to kindergarten before entering an application. 2. The admissions and wait list process will proceed as normal for the child, however if the child is assigned a seat it will be considered provisional . 3. The parent or guardian must submit (a) the Aptitude and Achievement tests, (b) Work sample, and (c) Recommendation letters by April 30. If the required documents are not received by this date, the child may be withdrawn from any provisionally assigned seat. 4. The school will reach out to schedule the interviews no later than three weeks after receiving the required documentation. 5. The school shall decide whether to grant early admission within three weeks of receiving all required documents and completing the interviews. 6. If enrollment is granted, it will be considered conditional for up to 90 days to observe whether the child is able to adjust to the school setting. If, within this period, school staff determine that the child is not appropriately placed, the parent or guardian will be invited to assist in the development of intervention strategies for the child. If these strategies are not successful, the school shall provide the parent at least 10 days notice before exiting the child. Admissions Overview

Does your child like moving fast? Finish school work quickly? Often bored? Restless and active ? YES Moving Fast > > > > > > > Advanced Learners Word Cloud Maybe you recognize your child here... Advanced or gifted learners often show some of these traits, but no individual has them all. You can read more here: NAGC Davidson Institute MCGT Parents frequently tell us that when they ask what their child learned at school, it's disheartening to hear, "Nothing," as the response. Boredom in school can lead to behavior problems and lower achievement. Many children will learn better , if we let them move faster . At Telra, we nurture challenge and encourage tailored acceleration . Most of our students will finish 5th grade one to three years ahead of the standard course of study. This isn't (usually) because they skip grades. Rather, we compact the curriculum. Think about it this way: A student who starts with Telra in Kindergarten and moves through the curriculum 17% faster than "standard" will be one full grade level ahead by they time finish 5th grade. (Since Telra students work beyond grade level, they are not assessed at "grade level standards." We use our own Telra Institute Standards, which go somewhat beyond grade level.) Only a small fraction of kids are ready to skip an entire grade, but many children will learn content at least 20% faster if given a chance. If Telra sounds like a good fit for your child, read about our admissions process here. Admissions Overview
